Wasn’t there an article on here about how foolish a contribution to the golf program was? Perhaps the Bennett family doesn’t quite understand that $750 won’t go very far in funding Wade and Beau’s scholarships. The money from 50/50 raffle goes directly to the hockey program. The Bennett family would be better off buying raffle tickets than writing you a check.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17196208.post-90452671503681848062011-11-17T10:05:31.414-07:002011-11-17T10:05:31.414-07:00I have nothing to do with the 50/50 raffle.

There were no seats at that end. They played &quot;D-rah&quot; when the DU team took the ice for the start of each period, after each DU goal and at the end of each period. <br /><br />They played &quot;3 Blind Mice&quot; when the refs were introduced and a few other selections during games.Tim in Los Angeleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07463156060694110200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17196208.post-85850505036235186272011-11-15T15:19:35.403-07:002011-11-15T15:19:35.403-07:00Warning?
